Today we are trying to make it to Volcano#2..... Medicine Lake, a unique geological area. NEVER HEARD OF IT? Well you are not alone. This EXTREMELY remote area in far northern California is a MUST SEE destination. If you visit this area use caution, mountain storms are known to dump inches of snow and the volcanic rock is easy to twist an ankle. Chances are you will not make it to the lake before June due to winter snow.....when you do make it don't forget to check out the surrounding area. Glass Mountain is one of favorite places to visit!!!

(41.4900012, -121.6153345) correct coordinates for Medicine Lake Boondocking. It appears I liked our last Boondocking spot so much that I included those coordinates for this weeks video 😂
Thank you SO much for adding the GPS to your Boondocking videos. I’m hoping that you plan to do this from now on. Your videos are brilliant-I’m going to go back and catch up on the old ones! At which time I’m probably going to beg you for coordinates 😂
Here I am visiting some of your older videos. The ice caves remind me what a beautiful world we live in. After a lifetime of exploring and camping I've learned to see the beauty in every environment from harsh deserts to mountains majesty, the simplest prairie has endless wonders.
I totally agree! If we could have made it just a bit further up that road. There is a glass mountain made of all obsidian! We hope to do a revisit at some point. 😀
Beautiful! Thanks for showing the area at it's finest! And thank you for taking care of Roodle's feet! The ice caves will still be frozen even in the summer. Great places to relax when traveling the lava fields! The entire area was owned by the McCloud River Railroad and the workers, like my grandfather, would use those caves for food storage. There's one cave near your campsite that has an ice slide! You slide down into the darkness and end up in a giant room. Of course you need a rope to climb out and you will get very wet!
That's awesome! I was wondering if anyone used those chilled ice caves for food storage. I would have love to see that ice slide...we had the rope! I appreciate you sharing some history and telling us about your granddad. Very cool stuff. 😎
Wow! We couldn't believe all the ice at this time of the year. Beautiful blue skies & tall green trees.
Lou & Angie
It's pretty crazy that ice remains year around in some of those caves even when it's 100 degrees in the summer ☀️
What a great place Guys!!! so happy you are enjoying it! Carrie, please do not walk with your hands in your pockets, if you fall, you will go face first and lose a tooth! LOL so funny, at the end you gave the advice due to the difficult terrain when ealier you had scared the Mom in me!!! Thank you for another great video!!!
Now Iam going to start watching if Carrie is walking around with her hands in her pockets! 😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime right? mostly in a terrain like that!!! LLLOOOLLLLLLL and then Carrie is going to write back saying: please stop giving him bad ideas!!!!!!! hahahahahaha
Besides being genuinely nice people the thing I like about your adventures is the way you view nature. I did some reading about medicine lake volcano and the history is amazing. The ice cave was a surprise. Always a thumbs up 👍
I hope we get a chance to go back up there some time. There is a mountain made of obsidian that I would love to share. Along with a couple of lava tubes over 3 miles in length. 😎
😊😊 Beautiful footage!!
That drone footage was... WoW!! Great editing. Great music.
We have to go back sometime. We missed out showing off Glass Mountain, The Lava Beds, and Medicine Lake! So much to explore in this area...at least when the snow melts. 😀
Wow it's beautiful! Great video!
Love your presentation and remote locations..thank you
Thank you. We had such a good time exploring those lava tubes. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
How you guys doing on your boondocking book? 😁 I am waiting for a copy!! Gorgeous drone footage! Love how the ice crystals sparkle and twinkle like stars! Caves are a little scary but so cool! Amazing scenic footage, as always!
What an unusual place. I have never seen anything like that. Once again, thank you for taking us along!
I can't get over how that ice will stay in those lava tubes year around! We hope to return someday and share a mountain that is made of obsidian. 😎
Love that spot♡
We just need to do a return trip sometime to show Medicine Lake and Glass Mountain. 😎
Crazy awesome beautiful!
We hope to go back someday and show off Medicine Lake and Glass Mountain..after the snow melts. 😂
"I don't know if I like that." Lol. 😁 That's a great place to visit. Wonderful drone footage, Dave. I love Roodle's shoes. 😁 Thanks for sharing, guys. 🙂
Happy to announce we encountered no critters in the caves. 😀
Thank goodness! 😬
Loved the sound of the footsteps with the first drone piece. Lovely spot.
All have to go back and take a listen..thinking it was a crunchy sound. 😀
Fantastic! Would love to follow your trail! Avoiding the snake hole of course 🐍
Carrie hates snakes and I hate hot weather so hopefully, we will avoid all snake holes this year.😀 Let us know if you decide to go to any of our boondocking sites we may of more useful tips. 😀
What an interesting area. Drone footage was great. (btw, your intro drone footage was what hooked me on your channel to begin with!). Thanks so much for sharing your adventures.
Thank you for subscribing to our channel. I love to fly the drone every chance I get. Every Sunday we post a Boondocking video showcasing where we are free camping at. Then on Wednesday we do a vanlife related video. We hope you will enjoy our videos. We have been living in our van for 2 years and have over 150 videos out. Carrie and I enjoy answering questions and hope to see you on the road someday.
Remember what Thorin said.. "Caves in the mountains are seldom unoccupied.."
Hey Carrie!! I am loving all the local sites lately. We just bought a rooftop tent and are looking for places near Chico to start using it on our days off!!
Great footage. Really like the drone shots.
You do a good job of being positive.
Thank you! Since we started van life positivity comes a lot more easier then it use to. 😎
does the Falken Wildpeak All Terrain Radial Tire impact your van performance on highway? BTW cool video, my wife and I follow your adVanture. We plan to go fulltime vanlife within 1-2 years . :)
That cave 😎👍
It's crazy how some of that ice stays year around in those lava tubes. 😎
@@oneadVANtureatatime Crazy Cool!
Hi, Carrie, Dave, and Broodle. It's Debbie and Lori. We camped next to and met at Miller's Bar at the Chetco on Memorial Day while you and Carrie were cleaning up the trash left by lazy, inconsiderate people.
We just got to Lori's in Montana today after a Crazy storm in Southeastern Washington.
We'll be in Glacier. Saw two bear cubs in Whitefish this afternoon frolicking in front of a bank and out into the street. They made it across the street. We were a few miles from Lori's.
Hope you guys are well. Take care.
-Debbie
We are so happy to have met you two! Pretty awesome to see bear cub! Right in town to! Madness lol. We got a pretty good lightning storm at Millers bar that woke us up at 4 am and then rain all day. We still managed to go for a hike on that Redwood trail despite the rain. Today we are heading up the coast a bit. Happy to hear you made it safely back to Montana. We will keep in touch 😀
Hey Roodle, put your boots on, we are going hiking! 😀 🥾 🐕 no 🐍!
Roodle did throw a shoe on that hike..thankful Carrie noticed right away. 😀🐕
Very nice video 😍
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. 😎
love your videos, nice aerial shots. Are there any Steam vents in the ground ? Roodle is even wearing boots. What breed is roodle?
Roodle is a labradoodle. Those shoes work great, love them. There are no steam vents there but 50 or more miles south near Lassen there is.
I grew up in McCloud,spent many days running around that exact area on my dirt bike. hope it don't get over run and trashed now like so many areas exposed on social media.Please,if you go pack out your trash.
Right on James. We have many subscribers that are helping us keep these sites free of trash. We love promoting leaving a area better than we found it. 👍
We live near this were in alturas ca. My son has been there I havent yet hopefully this summer
Nice! We both went to high school in Alturas. If you go in the summer consider checking out Medicine Lake and Glass Mountain. Also very nice free camping at Bullseye lake. Take care and have a good night,
Be sure to see MacArthur Burney Falls if you're near Lassen
+Stan Watkins YES! Burney falls is GORGEOUS! We stopped there but it was closed due to COVID-19. We have been there before and it is DEFINITELY work stopping!!
now your talking..I grew up in Mt. Shasta and deer hunted all around Mcloud. Gods country right there
It sure is! We didn't even make it to Glass Mountain, The Lava Beds, and Captain Jacks's stronghold. 😀

Been to medicine lake a lot but never explored. Going to have to next time we’re there. Great video. HAPPY TRAILS
I know right! That's the spot we have drove past so many times but never stopped 😎
So very nice. I can almost smell the air. So nice to have sensory memories.
I love that clean remote none polluted air! My nose actually works. 😀
I sprained my ankle just watching. Reflection in the pond of Dave and Roodle strolling beside it was fantastic.
The hike out of there was pretty rough! Roodle even through a shoe, luckily Carrie noticed and we didn't lose it. 😂
Wow, that area is stunning! I have never heard of that area. It does look like a place that could be explored for weeks! The drone shots were surreal....The trees are gorgeous, they dont even look real! That little lake, was the water cold? How many caves did you go in? Did you discover any wildlife in the caves or area? Thanks for sharing that adventure, wow!
The water was super shallow and cold! We really need to go back sometime and show you Glass Mountain, the Lava Beds, and Captain Jacks Stronghold. Just like you said, so much to explore! We did not find any critters lol 😆
Those are the coordinates of Twin Bridges road..
Thank you Mike. We will add a pinned comment with the correct coordinates. Much appreciated.
What a place! Why not a $1 Patron level?
We have people that pledge one dollar to our Patron account. You have to put in your dollar amount. But yes a one-dollar tear would make it easier. Thank you for checking out our Patron and watching our video. We appreciate any support we can get even if it's a view and a comment. 😎
Another beautiful video! Do the boots stay on Roodle? What brand are they and would you recommend them?
Roodles boots are made by ”Ruffwear” and we highly recommend them. We have had them get stuck in mud and come off but it's pretty rare. We love them. 😀
Have you two ever think about a mobile hand held ham radio? for emergency...Thank You!!! campervan Kevin "the woof pac" talked of,and cost about $20.00-25.00
We love Kevin and the woof pack! 😀 A Ham radio is a fantastic idea especially how remote we like to go sometimes. That's not a bad cost either.
@@oneadVANtureatatime I never thought of it ,in till Kevin said it..knowledge is power and power should be shared!! the other emergency stuff is way to much and cost every month..
@@oneadVANtureatatime I'm also thinking about "CB" radio
What an interesting place! How do you guys find these places? Dave were you in the military? Just curious! Thank you guys for sharing and I’m so happy you’re back out there in the adventure!
Yes I was in the Coast Guard for 6 years. I had a great time! I did a lot of search and rescue and was a Federal Law Enforcement officer. My favorite part was driving the boats in bad weather. 😎
one adVANture at a time awesome! 11 years Air Force, 2 years Army, 14 years Fed (Secret Service and Treasury Department), Master Captain in Merchant Marines (10 years). Now I’m “Tired” looking after my 92 year old mother-in-law! One day I’ll grow up to be free to travel in my van! 🙏 Thanks for your service!
Your resume is amazing! I am thinking there is a top-selling book to be wrote about your life. I know I would read it. 😀
Great explorers, so good together. Do drone has light and can enter on cave? Just wondering...
The drone has red and green lights but no spotlight. It's funny you ask because I seriously thought about flying it in the cave 😂 I can turn off the obstacle avoidance and fly in small spaces...at some risk of course 😆
Every place you go, I think, "OK, let's go there next". The next time you say, "the stars were bright", please take a 30 second shot with your camera lens wide open, and share it.
+Jim Goodenough unfortunately the moon did not cooperate with my night photography plans. This summer for sure though! I did get a pretty cool night shot along Highway 101 right next to the ocean..... that video should be coming out in two weeks.
#LiveYourPassion Love your videos !! ❤️ 🌞🚐🇺🇸
🐾 🐾 Yeah Roodle !!
#FindYourFreedom
Thank you. 😎
